Come blessed mystae[14] full to bursting, rejoice eternal.[1] In the classic sense, “manic” means to become a medium (μ) of the divinity, in this case Bacchos, the immortal God of wine and its effects.[2] The Lenaea is a festival of Bacchos held in the month of Lenaion (January) to celebrate the pressing of the grapes, lenaie (ληναῖε). The festival included dramatic contests where a goat (tragos) was sacrificed, hence the term “tragedy.” “The poet who wished his (sic?) play to be brought out at the Lenaea applied to the second archon, who had the superintendence of this festival as well as the Anthesteria [February] , and who gave him (sic?) the chorus if the piece was thought to deserve it.” Dictionary of Greek and Roman Antiquities, p.364, William Smith, Harper & Bros, New York, 1843. [3] Zeus, the God of lightning, is Bachos’ father. Zeus’ fire is the cause of Bacchos’ premature birth when it incinerated his mortal mother, Semele.[4] Nysia is the name of several mountains sacred to Dionysos/Bacchos. The word means “turning-point,” “starting point,” or “finishing-post,” suggesting that Bacchos is a God of transitions, beginnings, endings.[5] Zeus, the God of lightning storms and the male fertilizing principle, sewed the fetal Dionysos into his thigh to complete gestation after Dionysos’ mortal mother was consumed in the fire of Zeus’ lightning.

It is interesting to note that in Oregon, a mountainous state in the U.S., grapes grow more prosperously after mild fires, suggesting that perhaps the Bacchos fire legend reflects agricultural practices: "The percent cover of Oregon-grape was greater after prescribed spring and fall fires in 1973 compared to a control site on the Bridger-Teton National Forest, Wyoming [127]."

[6] The liknite is a broad basket used for threshing corn (and perhaps containing a fire?) The root word for "fire" and "wheat" are the same in ancient Greek.[7] A mitra is either a type of girdle worn in battle or a ceremonial head-dress.[8] A thyrsus is the pinecone-tipped staff carried by Bacchos and his devotees.[9] Orgia means rites, sacrifices, mysteries.[10] Bacchos was raised in secret to protect him from the fury of Zeus’ wife (Hera, the Goddess of air and wind).[11] Presumably Dios refers to Zeus, Bacchos’ father.[12] The Lexicon translates this as “furious dancing.”[13] Bacchos’ two mothers are Semele (mortal) and Zeus (divine).[14] Mystae are initiates in the Mysteries.

[1] Thalassa means rich, plentiful, blooming (Θαλ) + in motion, gliding about (ἀΐσσω).[2] Ocean is the primeval Titan God Okeanos, the font of all the earth's fresh-water. Tethys is his female counterpart.[3] Tethys is the Titan Goddess of the sources of fresh water such as rivers, springs, streams, fountains, and clouds. Her name is very similar to the term for aunt: tethis (τηθίς) and grandmother, tethee (τήθη). Titheeneo (τῐθηνέω) means to tend, take care of, nurse, foster. Teeros (τηρός) means to guard, watch over, keep safe. These words all start with the letters τ (stretch, extend) and η (shared center) and convey the sense of nurturing and keeping safe something or someone mutually valued. As the Goddess of fresh water sources, Tethys nurtures humanity, plants, and animals. [4] Anassa means Queen, Lady.[5] Gaia is the immortal Goddess of generative earth.[6] The Kyprian is the Goddess of love, Aphrodite; “then Aphrodite emerged from Thalassa (τὴνἈφροδίτηνἐκδοῦναι τῆςθαλάσσης)" Philostr. Im.2.1 [6][7] Nymphs are beautiful young Goddesses who prevail over particular locations in nature, often fresh water sources.

[1] Bacchos is the immortal God of wine and its effects.[2] Silenos is an elder companion of Bacchos, the father of the “satyrs.” Satyrs are depicted as men with horns and a tail who live a drinking, carousing life in the wilds. Note that atyranneutos (άτῠράννευτος) means arising above tyrants, free from tyrants, so that Saturos (Σάτῠρος) could be translated as “synchronized above tyranny,” descriptive of the lifestyle of one who lives in the wilds and mocks the establishment. Sillos (σίλλος) is a “satirical” poem or lampoon, mockery, something silly. Sillographeo (σιλλογρᾰφέω) is satirical poetry. http://www.theoi.com/Georgikos/Seilenos.html[3] The ox is the designated stud animal of the herd. Silenos is considered the father of the Satyrs.[4] The Horai are the immortal Goddesses of the seasons, the natural time for things to occur, the Hours. Triennial may refer to the three seasons: Spring, Summer, Winter; or to a triennial festival that occurs every third (every other) year. [5] Literally essence (e) + pure (u) + arising (a) + divine power (i).[6] Naiads are beautiful young Goddesses who preside over particular locations in nature.[7] Bacchantes are female devotees of Bacchos.[8] The Lenaia was an Athenian and Rhodian festival held in the month Lenaion (Gamelion/January) in honor of Dionysos at which there were dramatic contests.[9] Orgia means secret rites, secret worship, mysteries, literally entity (ὄ) + flow (ρ) + generative (γ) + divine power (ι) + arising (α).
